Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Ann Moss will be reprising their roles as Neo and Trinity in a belated third sequel to the 1999 movie The Matrix, written and directed by Lana Wachowski.

“We could not be more excited to be re-entering The Matrix with Lana,” Warner Bros. Pictures Group chairman Toby Emmerich said Tuesday in a statement. “Lana is a true visionary – a singular and original creative filmmaker -and we are thrilled that she is writing, directing and producing this new chapter in The Matrix universe.”

“Many of the ideas [Lana’s sister] Lilly and I explored 20 years ago about our reality are even more relevant now,” added Wachowski. “I’m very happy to have these characters back in my life and grateful for another chance to work with my brilliant friends.”

The screenplay for the new movie is penned by Lana Wachowski, Aleksandar Hemon and David Mitchell.
